Words that rhyme with Evict
Evict belongs to the two-syllable group; its vowel is the clipped /ษช/, and it lands on a stopped consonant. The lyric tradition treats it as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Two readings: as data โ strict matches show up in low numbers, family rhymes contribute a handful of voice-pair near-perfects, the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side; as lyric โ a plain-speech anchor. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why evict rhymes the way it does
To understand why evict rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 20 matches, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 11,596, and consonance 224. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Evict rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
